问题 What is the passage mainly about? [br]  
Greetings and introductions are an essential aspect of U. S. culture, the importance of which can never be overemphasized.
    In social situations, a man is traditionally introduced to a woman. However, in the business world, introductions are based on a person’s rank or position in a company. Whoever is the highest-ranking person is introduced to everyone else in order of their position. If you introduce two people of equal rank to each other, [12D] introduce the one you know less well to the one you know better.
    There might be occasions wherein you will have to introduce yourself. For example, if you are meeting a new colleague or an associate, you might start off by extending your hand and saying "Hello! I am…". If you have been introduced earlier to someone, do not assume that the person would remember you and be prepared to reintroduce yourself should it be necessary.
    [13A] Americans shake their hands when first introduced to new people. Rarely do they shake hands while parting. As a part of greeting, sometimes, social kissing is acceptable between men and women and also between women who know each other very well.
    If you are with a group of English-speaking people and the conversation is going on in English, do not use your native or any foreign language for more than a few sentences, as it is not considered to be polite. Try to avoid using any filthy, sexually explicit stories or jokes. When you are in a theatre, it’s not polite to talk or whisper during the performance.

选项 A、Americans shake their hands when first introduced to new people.
B、Americans usually shake hands while parting.
C、Social kissing is not acceptable between two women in America.
D、Americans call each other’s name when greeting.

答案 A
